The Game Boy ruled so hard

Want a Game Boy ColorPokemonagain? So do I! The system was a classic, and I could go for more demakes, or re-releases. ThisPokemon SwordandShielddemake conceptfrom artist sindormanis just making me thirsty for it.

Again, this is a concept (sindorman says “In case you’re curious, this is not an actual rom hack, it’s just an animation made by yours truly in photoshop”), not an actual game, which is probably for the bestas far asPokemonfan creations go! For reference,here’s thePokemon SwordandShield“Game Boy Remix” song they used, from coatlesscarl.

Game Boy Color Pokemon Sword demake

While the recent remakeshave been doing well sales-wise, it’s hard to imagine a situation where a modernPokemongame wouldn’t. I hope that Game Freak reevaluates their tact, and thatPokemon Legendsdelivers with half the things it seems to promise.

I’m all for the actual creation of demakes, especially the one detailed here, but Game Freak also needs to look to the future. The company keeps talking about getting new blood in, but it doesn’t seem like they’re making much of an impact thus far. Eventually a new generation willhaveto take over once most of the original crew can’t do it anymore.
